Figure 9. Bwc2 binds to the UVE1 promoter.

Figure 9

(A) SDS-PAGE gel for C. neoformans recombinant (His)6-Bwc2. Left to right, lane 1 is the low molecular weight Bio-Rad protein ladder, lane 2, 3, 4 are purified recombinant Bwc2 eluted fractions. Lane 5 is crude unpurified protein extract. (B) Gel mobility shift assay for a fragment of the JEC21 UVE1 promoter with purified Bwc2. Left to right, lane 1 contains just the UVE1 promoter P1 (PUVE1), lane 2, 3 and 4 contains P1+Bwc2 20 µg, 50 µg and 20 µg+Zn2+ respectively. Lane 5 is loaded with the non-specific radiolabeled probe P2. Lane 6, 7 are P1+Bwc2 20 µg and 50 µg. Lane 8, 9 are competition with the increasing amount of specific probe cold P1 to negate any binding observed in lane 7. Lane 10 is Bwc2 and P2 with Zn2+.
